Laser Hair Reduction

What is Laser Hair Reduction and how does it work?
At its simplest, laser hair removal is the process of using a laser – a high-intensity ray of light – to target hair roots, causing the hair to be lost and in time preventing regrowth.

The melatonin in the hair follicle is the target of the laser used in hair removal, and for this reason reduction of hair with laser is less effective on white, gray or extremely blonde hair. However, there are modern reduction of hair with laser treatments that can be used for nearly all hair and skin combinations.

The laser treatment is most effective when it is used on fresh hairs that are just beginning to grow. For this reason, you will need a number of separate treatments of laser hair removal, so that all the hairs in the body area you want treated can be targeted just as they begin to grow.

This is why the time span of laser hair removal treatments are so important – most people will need at least three repetitions of laser treatment, and you should ensure that you follow your doctor or beauty therapist’s schedule closely to get the best results.

Are there any risks associated with Laser Hair Reduction?

There are a few contra-indications, or circumstances in which a medical specialist or a qualified beautician will counsel you to wait before commencing hair removal by laser. These include rashes in the areas of the body you wish to have hair removal performed on, and if you have recently had certain acne treatments.
